I have a CZ 221 Fireball detachable magazine that I have modified the Savage in order for it to accept the little cartridge. Even though the magazine holds 5, if I load more than 3 in the magazine I find that the spring tension is too much and the first few rounds will simply not load at all.

So, I'm looking forward to the Model 25 for a smooth functioning magazine, plus a bit smaller rifle to maneuver around....when hunting fox at night.
